Beginner Exercise 179 / Solution

[Diagram]

First attempt

Eratos - Simply connecting with W1 leaves a play open at B2, making miai of a and b for connection, so we can't capture the stone.

Prevent the connection

So preventing the connection with W1 seems the best way forward

If black cuts

Black attempting to cut with B2 leaves him with a semeai he can't win.

Is this the best solution then?

unkx80: Yes. This is the only solution.

ProtoDeuteric- How is this the only solution if there is another one above? Was this the solution you were looking for?

unkx80: The second and third diagram forms only one solution. Notice that it is Black that played different at B2.

ProtoDeuteric- Oh, yeah. Of course the third diagram is not a separate case but rather a continuation of the first case from the second diagram. I should have examined the diagrams more thoroughly before I commented.
